New Version of Xbox 360 Rumoured

Posted by Zonk on from the maybe-maybe-not dept.

Carlo Becchi writes "According to Engadget a new version of the Xbox 360 is on the way. The next version of the console is codenamed 'Zephyr', and sports a bigger disk (120 Gb), better manufacturing process (65nm) and HDMI digital out up to 1080p. From the article: 'The 120GB drive may or may not come bundled with the kit, we don't yet know, just as we also don't yet know how much a Zephyr 360 is going to run (we imagine it'll go for the same price as currently so they can keep up a little on their expanding margin).'" It should be pointed out at this point the whole story is a fairly convincing photo and leaks from 'a source'. Take with a grain of salt.

    Give me the ultimate version option, one with built in HD-DVD, Wireless, HDMI, and the 120GB HD. I'd pay $600 for that version.

    I know they'll sell like hotcakes then. Especially if they smelled like hot cakes!

    They're just trying to win Wired's 2007 Vaporware Awards. They figure if they leak it now they have a whole year to build it up. It's good marketing

    I swear the FAA calls me every time I turn on my 360 to play a game. A couple of times, seismologists have dropped in to see what was going on.
